The ​Oreg​​on Department of Energy is committed to working closely with the nine federally-recognized Native American Tribes in Oregon.

Continuing to build on our long-standing relationships with the tribes will help our agency better understand how we can work collaboratively on the challenges and opportunities facing Oregon while improving ODOE's programs, services, and responsibilities.

Senate Bill 770 (2001) formalized the government-to-government relationship between Oregon's Native Tribes and state government. The state holds annual meetings with our tribal partners, and ODOE prepares a report each year for the annual meeting.
